Perhaps my recent obsession with pictures of Doris here has its roots in the truth that...
I am an alien.
I am now an alien in an alien land!!!!
Thus our bond.
No, I am not a visitor, not a tourist, nor even an expat.
Just an alien, far from home. So far from home I don't know where it is.
Well, so it has always been really. It's just that now it's at a whole other level. When understanding that someone just said the number "85" to me is a moment of actual pride, I think it is fair to say that whether or not I belong here is beside the point.
Maybe none of us belong here on the Earth, anywhere. Maybe we are all a mistake, but here we are and everyone must deal with it. Mostly everyone and everything else.
I apologise, I didn't want to get in too deep. I just wanted to show you some pictures of Doris up to stuff around town.

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
